special weather statements

From Glossary of Meteorology
Statements issued by a weather service that discuss weather situations including long-term events that describe phenomena of interest or concern to a number of users.

These are used when a warning is in progress to provide additional detail, describe events, and provide appropriate response recommendations. These statements may refer to inclement or hazardous weather, but are not so limited.
